Chiropractic management of musculoskeletal pain in the multiple sclerosis patient

The abstract below talks about some of the pain syndromes that patients with MS suffer from. Chiropractic care treats chronic musculoskeletal aches and pains that are related to the spine and other areas. Chiropractic and Massage work together to help get the joints of the spine functioning better while Massage Therapy can help relax tight muscles in the body to promote healing. If you know of someone suffering with MS then send them the article to read over.

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common disabling disease. Five to 10% of MS patients will enter a long-term care facility. The majority of MS patients suffer from some type of pain syndrome. Pain syndromes in MS can be divided into three categories: acute; subacute or paroxysmal and chronic. Chronic pain syndromes have been anecdotally reported to respond to mechanical treatments. Chiropractic care has shown efficacy in the treatment of chronic spinal pain. Chiropractic care may represent a viable treatment option for the MS patient suffering from chronic pain syndromes. Chiropractic care has been successfully integrated into a chronic care facility which is affiliated with a private university medical school. Chiropractic has been utilized in this setting for pain management of MS patients suffering from chronic pain syndromes. Preliminary findings from this clinic suggest that chiropractic may represent one treatment alternative for chronic pain in MS patients in a long-term care facility. Further studies will be needed to definitively determine the efficacy of chiropractic for the management of chronic pain in the MS patient.

Can Chiropractic Care help people with Multiple Sclerosis?

Read the article below that display some of the positive effects that this woman had with Chiropractic Treatment for aches and pains. This treatment helped with quality of life by decreasing various pain such as Low back pain, neck pain, and other related aches. This article does not in any way say that Chiropractic care can treat the underlying causes of the disease.

Here is a summary of the article below and you can go to the source of the article at

http://ping.fm/heeoR

Recent research reported in the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health - Chiropractic revealed improvement in symptoms related to multiple sclerosis in a woman undergoing chiropractic care suggesting that chiropractic may play an important role in managing people with such disorders.

The 51 year old woman reported on in the study also suffered from gastroesophageal reflux disorder (often called GERD), asthma and a number of other problems which were all helped through chiropractic care. The research includes a review of the literature on the role of chiropractic in such disorders.

"Research is revealing that there is a relationship between abnormalities in the spine, the nervous system and brain," stated Dr. Ben Lerner, lead author of the paper. "Researchers from different fields are now showing that trauma, problems in the upper neck and problems with blood flow to and from the brain may be playing a significant role in multiple sclerosis."

"It makes perfect sense when you think about it" stated Dr. Sheri Lerner, a co-author on the paper. "Our study is one more example of how people with these debilitating conditions can be helped through specific chiropractic adjustments to restore normal spinal and nervous system function."

According to Dr. Matthew McCoy, a chiropractor, public health researcher and editor of the journal that published the study, "Chiropractors have been talking about these links for some time now and I think research in this area will soon reach a critical mass because its not just chiropractors saying this any more. You have researchers in several different fields coming to similar conclusions. The real challenge with these models is going to be showing what works best and chiropractic has a respectable foundation of research in this area" stated McCoy.

In the case reported on in the article the initial application of chiropractic was followed by nutritional advice which included eliminating sugar and grains from the patient's diet. Correction of the spinal and related neurological interference was the first priority however. Abnormal position or movement of the spinal vertebra can develop and this can lead to nerve and vascular interference. It is this interference, called vertebral subluxations, that chiropractors correct.

The woman reported on in the study suffered from a number of health challenges including multiple sclerosis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), asthma, osteoarthritis, and scoliosis. She also had complaints of neck pain, back pain and jaw pain. She had been under the care of several healthcare professionals prior to presenting to the chiropractic office. These practitioners included the family medical doctor, a neurologist, allergist, rheumatologist, gastrointestinal specialist, cardiologist, and dermatologist. She was taking several medications.

The patient began to report improvement in pain levels throughout her body after just 12 visits, had better mobility and was able to increase her physical activity. Her lung function and posture improved and she was gradually able to discontinue all her medications.

The authors of the study call for more research on the role of chiropractic care in these types of disorders.

What are the Chicago Blackhawks doing that you should also start doing?

I was reading the article that you see below and thought it was definitely worth sharing.

**Take home point: Look into taking a D3 supplement

You have to practice what you preach! ...I take a delicious gummy vitamin D3 everyday so next time you are in the office you can ask me about it.

Have a great day and enjoy the article below ...

TheChicago Blackhawks are the First Vitamin D Team in Modern Professional Sports History

PRNewswire-USNewswire

05-28-10

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., May 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Chicago Blackhawk team physicians began diagnosing and treating vitamin D deficiency in all Blackhawk players about 18 months ago. Apparently, most players are on 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day. To confirm this assertion, simply ask the Blackhawk organization.

After many losing seasons, last year the Blackhawks came out of nowhere to get to the Western conference finals. This year the Blackhawks are playing even better.

According to my sources, improved athletic performance is only one of the benefits for the Blackhawk players. The other is a reduction in the number and severity of lower respiratory tract infections and a reduction in the number and severity of repetitive use injuries.

Six months ago, Runner's World published a story on vitamin D and athletic performance.

Asp K. Running on D: The "sun vitamin" may boost performance, but you probably aren't getting enough.Runners World, December 2009.

A year ago, the flagship journal of the American College of Sports Medicine published the evidence that vitamin D would improve athletic performance, including evidence vitamin D played a role in the USSR and East Germany domination of the Olympics in the 1960s, 70s, and early 80s.

Cannell JJ, Hollis BW, Sorenson MB, Taft TN, Anderson JJ. Athletic performance and vitamin D. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2009 May;41(5):1102-10.

Recently, researchers in England found a direct and strong relationship between muscle power and vitamin D levels in teenage girls.

Ward KA, et al. Vitamin D status and muscle function in post-menarchal adolescent girls. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2009 Feb;94(2):559-63.

However, readers of the Vitamin D Council's newsletter first learned about vitamin D and athletic performance in 2007:

Cannell, JJ. Peak Athletic Performance and Vitamin D. Vitamin D Council Newsletter, March 2007.

If the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup this year, other teams, from high school to professional, may start paying attention to the vitamin D status of their players. That would be a big boost to the Vitamin D Council's goal of educating the world about the importance of vitamin D.

Does drinking more water really help dieting?

Here is the source for the full article:

http://ping.fm/XtRKL

A small study says it may help you burn a few more calories each day. How many? About 50 calories per liter or quart of water. About 25 calories per water bottle-full of water. Mind you, that's only 5 M&Ms - plain, not peanut.

Why Drink More When Dieting?

* Drinking a big glass of water whenever you feel hungry and before a meal or snack fills the stomach briefly and makes you feel fuller and stop eating sooner.

* Breaking down body fat and body muscle during weight loss produces wastes that must be eliminated through the kidneys. Drinking enough water is important to keep the kidneys functioning to remove these wastes.

* Popular high-protein diets produce more waste products from digestion, let alone from breaking down stored fat. Kidney function is even more important when on a high-protein diet.

* Drinking more water does not "flush fat."

* If the dieter is drinking plain water, he/she is less likely to be drinking something with calories in it.

Drinking Water Briefly Increases Metabolism

Drinking 500 mL of water (a half-liter or about a pint) increased the study participants' metabolism briefly - for about a half hour. In that time they burned an extra 25 calories. That's about a quarter of a piece of sliced bread, or 5 M&Ms. The researchers theorized that most of the effect comes from warming the water in the stomach. In the male participants the calories came mostly from stored fat, in the women it came from stored carbohydrates. The paper was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, December, 2003. It was conducted by researchers in Berlin.

Eight Glasses of Water a Day?

The study provides some support for the general recommendation to drink eight glasses of water a day while dieting. For most people that would add a liter or two to their regular water intake. The extra calorie-burn would be about 100 calories a day if drinking 2 liters (2 quarts or 4 water-bottles full) more than usual.

Dangers of Too Much Water

Don't start drinking an extra gallon of water a day
Water taken in must be in balance with body salt - electrolytes. The body needs to maintain salt balance or risk hyponatremia with heart attack and even death. Drinking too much water dilutes the salt in your blood and tissues - and can kill you. Healthy athletes have died from drinking too much plain water and not replacing salt. Dieters should not plunge into drinking gallons of water a day in hopes of burning a few more calories. Drink an extra few glasses, yes. But a gallon is too much.

Drinking and Walking

Exercise such as walking causes the metabolism to rise and body water to be lost through increased respiration and sweat. Walkers should drink a large glass of water an hour before walking, then drink about a cup of water every mile. When you finish walking, drink a glass of water. Guidelines for the marathon and half-marathon now say to "drink when thirsty" rather than pushing water, in order to prevent hyponatremia - drinking too much with replacing electrolytes.

We hope you enjoyed this information from the above sources.

Woman Gets Vision Back After Chiropractic Adjustment

A feel good story appeared in the August 3, 2005 issue of the The Daily Times of Delaware. The story starts off by reporting, "Doctors said after Laura Hattier was born, she'd never be able to see like a normal person, let alone drive a car -- but that didn't stop her. She later entered a beauty pageant -- and won. After a chiropractic adjustment, her vision came back and she married the chiropractor."

According to the article, Laura was diagnosed at birth, with congenital nystagmus. This is a condition where the eye experiences involuntary shaking, causing severe vision loss. According to Laura one in a thousand children are born with this condition. She noted, "When I was born, I was completely blind. The doctor's told my parents there was no hope."

This situation did not stop Laura from working to achieve. As a child her vision improved, but she was still unable to play or read like normal children. "When I was a child, I would look in an adult text book and all I could see were dots," Hattier said. "I thought, 'Wow, grown-ups are really special to be able to look at dots and get words out of that!'."

By the time Laura turned 16 her vision had improved a little but she was still legally blind. Additionally she had begun suffering from severe stomach ulcers. Doctors continued to tell her there was no hope for either of her conditions.

However, Laura did not let that stop her. She then entered the Miss Laurel beauty pageant -- and won. She noted that event changed her life and opened doors that would have otherwise remained closed. She commented, "That was the best things about my teenage years."

While continuing on to college, Laura took a part-time job at chiropractor Donald Hattier's office in Delmar. She noted his belief in chiropractic by recalling, "He suggested that everybody should get adjusted (chiropractic) if they need it or not just because it's a healthy and holistic thing to do."

It was in this circumstance that her life was changed forever. After just her first adjustment, her ulcers disappeared and her vision began to improve. Laura commented, "I don't know if it was coincidence or chiropractic."

On her last day of employment, Dr. Donald asked her on a date. The rest as they say is history. The article notes that Laura and Dr. Donald Hattier now have four children and live near Dagsboro. At age 39, Laura is living the life she never thought possible. Her vision has improved to 20/50 and she reports that she is able to take care of her family and run daily errands. "I can pick my kids up from school, I can drive my kids to church and I can go to the grocery store for my family," she said. "I am truly thankful for that."

What are you doing today to be healthier?

Studies show that between 40,000 and 100,000 Americans die every year from improper medications to errors on the operating table. ABC News. That's as low as 109 people a day, to as high as 274 people a day die each day from medical errors!

Dr. Robert Wachter, author of "Understanding Patient Safety," said, "That would be the equivalent of a large jet crashing every single day in the United States."

Don't want side effects from medication and surgeries? Then ensure you are seeking and focusing on ways to improve your health. Create an extremely full 'health account' with yourself. Simple things like drinking lots of water, eating fruits and vegetables (ideally 7-10 servings a day), exercise and getting regular Chiropractic adjustments can all have amazing, long standing benefits. Great health is not a passive event, so congrats on taking action and doing something each day to improve your health.

Chiropractic Neck Adjustments are Extremely Safe

A study published in the scientific medical journal "Spine" notes the safety of chiropractic. The article published in the October 2007 issue of the journal was titled, "Safety of Chiropractic Manipulation of the Cervical Spine: A Prospective National Survey".

The study was a prospective national survey designed to, "estimate the risk of serious and relatively minor adverse events following chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine by a sample of U.K. chiropractors."

The authors admitted that the risk of any serious side effects to chiropractic care was relatively unknown to them and the medical community. The chiropractic profession has long noted that the malpractice rates for the chiropractic profession at large, a possible indicator for injury from care, were considerably lower than any other medical health care providers.

This study looked at the outcomes from 19,722 chiropractic patients who had received some form or another of neck adjustments that they referred to as "chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine." The researchers reviewed a total of 50,276 neck adjustments and looked to see if there were any serious side effects from the chiropractic care. They defined serious effects to be those that resulted in the need to be referred to a hospital, or that caused a worsening of symptoms immediately after treatment and/or resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity.

The results as quoted in the study were that, "There were no reports of serious adverse events." Researchers did not find any serious adverse effects in any of the subjects they studied. They also noted that this is the first medical study of its kind by stating, "Safety of treatment interventions is best established with prospective surveys, and this study is unique in that it is the only prospective survey on such a large scale specifically estimating serious adverse events following cervical spine manipulation."

Researchers noted the safety advantage between chiropractic care and drug care by saying, "The risk rates described in this study compare favorably to those linked to drugs routinely prescribed for musculoskeletal conditions in general practice." They summed up their findings when they stated, "On this basis, this survey provides evidence that cervical spine manipulation is a relatively safe procedure when administered by registered U.K. chiropractors."

GOT HEADACHES?

THERE IS A SOLUTION!

Did you know that chiropractic is one of the most effective solutions for Headaches?

We have helped many people throughout the years with headaches. It is a common myth that headache pain comes merely from stress.

Headaches can actually be caused from nerve irritation in the neck from misaligned or stiff joints, just like back pain can be caused by nerve irritation
in the lower spine. Therefore if the nerve irritation or blockages are not removed then the person can continue to have problems.

What Causes headaches?

There are several potential causes. If the neck is stressed from sleeping wrong, sitting in bad posture, or from a previous injury such as a
car accident then this can cause pressure on the neck and irritate the nerves in the area. Misalignments and stiffness occurs.

According to MedicineNet.com:

Headache is defined as pain in the head or upper neck.
It is one of the most common locations of pain in the body and has many causes.

Tension headaches are the most common type of primary headache;
as many as 90% of adults have had or will have tension headaches.
Migraine headaches are the second most common type of primary headache.
An estimated 28 million people in the United States (about 12% of the population)
will experience migraine headaches.

When there are problems with the neck and spine this can block the bodies ability to cope with the
situation adequately – that is when you get a headache or neck pain.
A headache is your body trying to tell you that there is a blockage somewhere in the neck or spine.

What is the Solution?

Remove the blockage in the spine and help realign the joints with Chiropractic
and other natural modalities.

This makes perfect sense as your body is trying to tell you what’s wrong and showing the pathway to fixing it! The next
time you or someone you know experiences a headache, remember that it is your bodies way of letting you know – it’s time to remove the
blockage!

The Power of Fish!

View at http://chiropractorchicago.blogspot.com/

New research shows why eating
Fish (or Flax Seed Oil) is a great way to staying
healthy!

Why is every nutritionist raving about the
health benefits of eating fish? The first
reason is the omega-3 fatty acids found in
abundance in fish. What is the benefit of
omega-3 fatty acids? Harvard and others
have documented that omega-3 is
associated with a lowered risk for heart
disease!

What are the healthiest fish to eat? It is
generally agreed that cold water fish are
packed with omega-3’s, including these
types of fish:
• Salmon
• Mackerel
• Tuna
• Lake trout
• Sardines (yuck!)

**Also the plant version for omegas is FLAX SEED OIL
which anyone can eat on a daily basis with cereal or yogurt.

I’ve recently read some controversy over
so-called “farm raised fish.” It was alleged
that farm raised fish was not as healthy.
I’ll continue to monitor this, in
case new information becomes available.

The second reason to eat fish… is
because it might make you emotionally
happier. There is new evidence published
in the American Journal of Psychiatry that
suggests that an omega-3 acid called "EEPA"
prevents clinical depression. Six of
10 patients taking a fish-oil supplement noted
a 50% reduction in their depression levels.
My advice: Combining chiropractic with
a great diet is the path to a disease free life.
Eat fish (or Flax Seed oil) for good health – and it might just
put a smile on your face!

Do you know someone with Low Back pain?
(From HealthDay News in Atlanta)

Why is it important to get your back checked out? See below for what the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons have to say.

Low back pain -- ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating agony -- plagues nearly everyone at some point. But even mild low back pain can interfere with your life and your work.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons lists these common causes of low back pain:

* Lifting an object using the back, not the legs.
* Degenerative changes in the spine as people age.
* Straining the back during activity.
* An injury (tear or herniation) to a disc in the spine.
* Spondylolisthesis, a condition in which the vertebrae slip out of place and put pressure on nerves in the spine.
* Spinal stenosis, which occurs when the space around the spine narrows, resulting in pressure on nearby nerves and the spinal cord.
* Scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine.

The Milk Myth: What Your Body Really Needs

Click here for the full article

http://ping.fm/dzJ5D

A recent study claims that young adults are not drinking enough milk -- at least according to press reports on the matter. But according to the study’s lead author Nicole Larson, the focus on the study was on calcium.

The words "milk" and "calcium" are often used interchangeably in the popular press. But while milk is a calcium source, no standard other than that of the National Dairy Council considers it the best calcium source.

The suggestion that you need to drink three glasses of the secretion of a cow's mammary glands in order to be healthy is a bit outrageous and doesn't fit the human evolutionary profile. In fact, most humans around the world cannot easily digest cow milk.

Yogurt has more calcium than milk and is easier to digest. Collards and other greens also have about as much or more calcium than milk by the cup. Greens, unlike milk, have the added benefit of vitamin K, also necessary for strong bones. Sesame is also very high in calcium.

When you measure calcium by cup of food product, milk is high on the list. When you view it by calorie, though, milk is at the bottom. A hundred calories of turnip greens have over three times as much calcium as 100 calories of whole milk.

Cancer Institute Warns of Cell Phone Risks

For the full article click on the link below

http://ping.fm/J6Bpm

The head of a prominent cancer research institute has issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.

The warning came from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. Herberman says his warning is based on early unpublished data. He argues that people should take action now -- especially when it comes to children.

"Really at the heart of my concern is that we shouldn't wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry later," Herberman said.

There are many simple precautions that you can take to reduce your exposure to information-carrying radiowaves and the electromagnetic radiation emitted from your cell phone – both of which are hazardous to your health. Here are my best guidelines:

* Children Should Never Use Cell Phones: Barring a life-threatening emergency, children should not use a cell phone, or a wireless device of any type. Children are far more vulnerable to cell phone radiation than adults, because of their thinner skull bones.

* Reduce Your Cell Phone Use: Turn your cell phone off more often. Reserve it for emergencies or important matters.

* Use A Land Line At Home And At Work: Although more and more people are switching to using cell phones as their exclusive phone contact, it is a dangerous trend and you can choose to opt out of the madness.

* Reduce or Eliminate Your Use of Other Wireless Devices: You would be wise to cut down your use of these devices. Just as with cell phones, it is important to ask yourself whether or not you really need to use them every single time. If you must use a portable home phone, use the older kind that operates at 900 MHz. They are no safer during calls, but at least they do not broadcast constantly even when no call is being made.

* Use Your Cell Phone Only Where Reception Is Good: The weaker the reception, the more power your phone must use to transmit, and the more power it uses, the more radiation it emits, and the deeper the dangerous radio waves penetrate into your body. Ideally, you should only use your phone with full bars and good reception.

* Turn Your Cell Phone Off When Not In Use: As long as your cell phone is on, it emits radiation intermittently, even when you are not actually making a call.

* Keep Your Cell Phone Away From Your Body When It Is On: The most dangerous place to be, in terms of radiation exposure, is within about six inches of the emitting antenna. You do not want any part of your body within that area.

* Use Safer Headset Technology: Wired headsets will certainly allow you to keep the cell phone farther away from your body. However, if a wired headset is not well-shielded -- and most of them are not -- the wire itself acts as an antenna attracting ambient information carrying radio waves and transmitting radiation directly to your brain. Make sure that the wire used to transmit the signal to your ear is shielded.

The best kind of headset to use is a combination shielded wire and air-tube headset. These operate like a stethoscope, transmitting the information to your head as an actual sound wave; although there are wires that still must be shielded, there is no wire that goes all the way up to your head.

I hope you enjoyed this research.

Nine Year Old Boy Can Walk Again Thanks to Chiropractic

Click here to watch the video:

http://ping.fm/Z12sf

A feel good story by Barbara Morse Silva appeared on, June 1, 2009, on the NBC TV news station "turnto10.com" serving Rhode Island and Massachusetts. This story followed the case of a young boy who was able to walk again after chiropractic care. In this news story a young boy named Charlie had a rare disease that created tumors in his brain, heart and kidneys. He was also born with fetal alcohol syndrome and has a history of seizures.

Five years ago he was adopted by the Rivera family. His adopted mother Michele described young Charlie by noting that he was confined to a wheelchair, was lethargic and on all kinds of medicines. His adopted father Abraham added that Charlie, "basically sat in a wheelchair slumped over. There was nothing for the child."

The Riveras took Charlie to a chiropractor Dr. Ross Rutkowski of Somerset, MA. Dr. Rutkowski explained that he performed a specific type of chiropractic that involved posture to help the upper part of Charlie's neck causing a change instantly after the first adjustment. His mother recalled, "He'd never slept a full night since we had gotten him the first five years." Mrs. Rivera then recalled what happened after Charlie's first adjustment, "When he came here (the chiropractor's office) that night was the first night he slept, and it was 24 hours with no seizure." His father noted that now him and Charlie can make eye contact.

The story then notes that Charlie is walking a lot, and his seizures have also been "few and far between". The story notes that the Riveras call this nothing short of a miracle and their son now has a good quality of life.

The story did point that at first the Riveras would not even consider going to a chiropractor. Mr. Rivera admitted that he, "Would never even go a chiropractor." But now he says, "Amazing, all my aches are gone to! Yup I'm a patient now too."

Dr. Rutkowski pointed out, "To be clear, chiropractic is not a treatment for seizures. It's a way of taking pressure away from that nervous system so that the body always does the healing. We just remove the interference and the body heals."

The Five Absolute Worst Foods You Can Eat

2009-06-04T09:49:00.003-07:00

NEWS FLASH from Chiropractical Solutions and Massage in Chicago

http://www.ChiropracticalSolutions.com

The Five Absolute Worst Foods You Can Eat

By Dr. Joseph Mercola
with Rachael Droege

There are no "bad" foods, right? Only food you should eat in moderation? Well, not really. The following foods are so bad for your body that I really can't see any reason to eat them. Not only do they have zero nutritional value, but they also give your body a healthy dose of toxins, which should make the idea of eating them really hard to swallow.

Doughnuts

Doughnuts are fried, full of sugar and white flour and most all varieties contain trans fat. Store-bought doughnuts are made up of about 35 percent to 40 percent trans fat.

An average doughnut will give you about 200 to 300 calories, mostly from sugar, and few other nutrients.

It's too bad that Americans view doughnuts as a breakfast food as, nutritionally speaking, eating a doughnut is one of the worst ways to start off your day. It will throw off your blood sugar and won't stay with you so you'll be hungry again soon. You are better off eating no breakfast at all, or better yet grabbing a quick glass of Whey Healthier.

Soda

One can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. I can't think of any good reason to ever have it. The diet varieties are also problematic as they are filled with harmful artificial sweeteners like aspartame.

Studies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay and heart disease, yet the average American drinks an estimated 56 gallons of soft drinks each year. Plus, drinking all that sugar will likely suppress your appetite for healthy foods, which pave the way for nutrient deficiencies.

Soft drink consumption among children has almost doubled in the United States over the last decade, which is not surprising considering that most school hallways are lined with soda-filled vending machines.

Schools often make marketing deals with leading soft drink companies such as Coca-Cola from which they receive commissions--based on a percentage of sales at each school--and sometimes a lump-sum payment, in exchange for their students' health. School vending machines can increase the consumption of sweetened beverages by up to 50 or more cans of soda per student per year.

If you routinely drink soda--regular or diet--eliminating it from your diet is one of the simplest and most profound health improvements you can make.

French Fries (and Nearly All Commercially Fried Foods)

Potatoes are bad enough when consumed in their raw state, as their simple sugars are rapidly converted to glucose that raises insulin levels and can devastate your health. But when they are cooked in trans fat at high temperatures, all sorts of interesting and very unpleasant things occur.

Anything that is fried, even vegetables, has the issue of trans fat and the potent cancer-causing substance acrylamide.

Foods that are fried in vegetable oils like canola, soybean, safflower, corn, and other seed and nut oils are particularly problematic. These polyunsaturated fats easily become rancid when exposed to oxygen and produce large amounts of damaging free radicals in the body. They are also very susceptible to heat-induced damage from cooking. What is not commonly known is that these oils can actually cause aging, clotting, inflammation, cancer and weight gain. You can read the article "Secrets of the Edible Oil Industry" for more information.

It is theoretically possible to create a more "healthy" French fry if you cook it in a healthy fat like virgin coconut oil. Due to its high saturated fat content, coconut oil is extremely stable and is not damaged by the high temperatures of cooking. This is why coconut oil should be the only oil you use to cook with.

I am fond of telling patients that one French fry is worse for your health than one cigarette, so you may want to consider this before you order your next 'Biggie' order.

Chips

Most commercial chips, and this includes corn chips, potato chips, tortilla chips, you name it, are high in trans fat. Fortunately, some companies have caught on to the recent media blitz about the dangers of trans fat and have started to produce chips without trans fat.

However, the high temperatures used to cook them will potentially cause the formation of carcinogenic substances like acrylamide, and this risk remains even if the trans fat is removed.

Fried Non-Fish Seafood

This category represents the culmination of non-healthy aspects of food. Fried shrimp, clams, oysters, lobsters, and so on have all the issues of trans fat and acrylamide mentioned above, plus an added risk of mercury.

Seafood is loaded with toxic mercury and shellfish like shrimp and lobsters can be contaminated with parasites and resistant viruses that may not even be killed with high heat. These creatures, considered scavenger animals, consume foods that may be harmful for you.

Eating these foods gives you a quadruple dose of toxins--trans fat, acrylamide, mercury and possibly parasites or viruses--with every bite.

If you have a taste for seafood, there's an easy solution. It's best to avoid your local fish fry and try the only fish I now eat--the delicious wild red Alaskan salmon that was proven through independent lab testing to be free of harmful levels of mercury and other contaminants.

We look forward to hearing your comments.

Too Much Cola Can Cause Muscle Problems

Too Much Cola Can Cause Muscle Problems

By HealthDay news

- written WEDNESDAY, May 27 (HealthDay News) --

Drinking too much cola can increase the risk of a muscle problem called hypokalemia, experts warn.

In people with hypokalemia, a drop in blood potassium levels results in problems with vital muscle functions.
Symptoms can range from mild weakness to serious paralysis, say Greek researchers who conducted a review of people who drank between two to nine liters of cola a day.

"We are consuming more soft drinks than ever before, and a number of health issues have already been identified including tooth problems, bone demineralization and the development of metabolic syndrome and diabetes," and there's increasing evidence that excessive cola consumption leads to hypokalemia, Dr. Moses Elisaf, of the University of Ioannina, said in the news release. Elisaf said the three most common ingredients in cola -- glucose, fructose and caffeine -- can contribute to hypokalemia. The case studies are described in the June issue of the International Journal of Clinical Practice.

For More information:

The MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia has more about hypokalemia.

Can Chiropractic care help your Immune System?

2009-05-20T17:17:00.001-07:00

Chiropractical Solutions & Massage Newsletter

Can Chiropractic care help your Immune System?

Flu and Sickness Prevention Plan Should Include Chiropractic says the research.

As the news on the swine flu has decreased it highlighted important points that we need to keep our immune system functioning at its best.
Read below for studies that have been done on how Chiropractic helps to increase the immune system. Thank you for reading.

The Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health issued a release on May 04, 2009 with the above headline urging people to include chiropractic during this most recent flu scare.

The article reads:

"People of all ages are encouraged to add chiropractic to their strategy for warding off and fighting the flu and its effects – swine flu or otherwise.
Spinal adjustments can have a positive effect on immune function according to a growing number of researchers who are exploring the common
denominators in disease processes, and the role of the nervous, immune, and hormonal systems in development of immune related illnesses."

Dr. Christopher Kent a chiropractor and past recipient of the researcher of the year award by the International Chiropractors Association stated,
"Contemporary research is beginning to shed light on the neurobiological mechanisms which may explain the outstanding clinical results chiropractors
have experienced when managing patients with viral and infectious diseases."

Dr. Kent further explained: “A comprehensive review of the research literature reveals the current understanding that the brain and immune system are
the two major adaptive systems in the body. During an immune response, the brain and the immune system 'talk to each other' and this process is
essential for maintaining homeostasis or balance in the body.”

According to the release, chiropractic holds that viruses and microbes don't threaten us all equally and that a healthy immune system easily repels most invaders.
The immune system protects us from the flu, as well as any other infectious disease, and strives to get us well again when we do fall ill. Our immune system,
like every other system in the body, is coordinated and controlled by the nervous system. Helping the nervous system function at its optimal level is accomplished by removing any interference caused by spinal subluxations.

The release noted that Chiropractors helping patients battle the flu has historical roots. During the 1917-18 influenza epidemic, it was estimated that 20 million
people died throughout the world, including about 500,000 Americans. During that time it was chiropractic’s success in caring for flu victims that led to the
profession gaining recognition and official licensure in many states. Researchers note that historical data in Davenport Iowa showed that out of the 93,590 patients
treated by medical doctors, there were 6,116 deaths -- a loss of one patient out of every 15. Chiropractors at the Palmer School of Chiropractic adjusted 1,635 cases, with only one death.

Matthew McCoy DC, MPH, Editor of the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health, commented, "These results are not so surprising given what we now know
about the interaction between the nervous system and the immune system. Through research we know that chiropractic has beneficial effects on immunoglobulins,
B-lymphocytes (white blood cells), pulmonary function and other immune system processes.”

Dr. McCoy summed up his recommendations by saying, "In addition to the passive recommendations regarding hand washing, avoiding large gatherings,
coughing and sneezing into your hands – it makes a great deal of sense to do everything you can to ensure that your immune system is functioning at its best.
And that strategy should include chiropractic care."

What are the most commonly asked questions from our patients about Chiropractic?

2009-03-30T12:12:00.000-07:00

Chiropractical Solutions & Massage

What are the most commonly asked questions from our patients about Chiropractic?

We receive lots of questions via e-mail and in the office from our patients everyday. Here is a list of answers to the most commonly asked questions. If you think of any other questions then please feel free to e-mail us at drweisz@drweisz.com.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How Does the Chiropractic adjustment Work?

Spinal joints that are "locked up", fixated, misaligned, or not moving right can affect your health by "choking" or irritating nearby nerve tissue.
Chiropractic adjustments add motion to these stuck areas. This helps restore nervous system integrity and improves the healing process.
It helps decrease pain, improve mobility, and increases health of the body.

Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

Yes. A New Zealand government study found that adjustments are "remarkably safe." By avoiding drugs and risky surgery, chiropractic care enjoys an excellent track record.
A thorough exam can identify the rare person for whom chiropractic care might be unsuited. If you compare the statistics, adjustments are much safer than taking
an over-the-counter pain reliever. Chiropractic treatment is safe and gentle enough for a newborn child and for an elderly person as well. There are a variety of treatment
techniques used for each individual since everyone is different.

What are causes of joint and muscle aches and pains in the body?

There are 2 main causes for muscle and joint pains in the body:
1. Major traumas: Major traumas are slips, falls, lifting something heavy too fast, car accidents, sports injuries,etc. These are events that occur hard and fast.
2. Minor traumas: Minor traumas are sitting, sleeping, or standing with poor posture. These repetitive incorrect postures add up over time and put undue stress on the spine and muscles.

These major and minor traumas cause spinal bones to get "stuck" and spinal joints can become misaligned. These misalignments can irritate delicate nerves
because the joints in your spine are so close to your spinal cord and nerve roots. Too little joint motion and misalignments can have serious effects because
it can press against adjacent nerve tissue. Therefore, if spinal joints do not function properly then muscles can tighten in certain areas creating imbalances in the body.
Discs, ligaments and other connective tissues can become inflamed. Bone spurs and arthritic degeneration can set in.
The chiropractic doctor is a licensed health care professional dedicated to the detection, reduction and prevention of spinal nerve irritation from misaligned and fixated areas of the spine.
Massage is one of the best modalities to help relax the tight muscles in the body. Both Chiropractic and Massage treatment along with changing daily postural habits helps a great deal
with aches and pains and puts people on the path to wellness and prevention.

How long does it take for chiropractic to work?

Chiropractic results vary depending upon many factors. How long have you had your problem? Are you sitting, sleeping, or standing with poor posture on a weekly basis?
Do you keep your appointments? Are you getting the proper rest, exercise and nutrition? Are you in otherwise good health? How many major traumas and minor traumas
have you had throughout your life? Other factors are how old someone is because if someone is older with the same problem then it will take longer to heal.
Within a short period of time most patients sense enough progress to justify completing our recommendations and staying on track with their health.
Since chiropractic care depends on the healing abilities of each patient, results are hard to predict. Every patient responds differently. Some detect changes
in a few short days or weeks. Others may take weeks to months before showing progress.
After all, you only have one body so you must take care of it so it can take care of you!

Will I need chiropractic care forever?

It is up to you! Patients choose Chiropractic care for pain relief or they choose preventative longer term care at our office to maintain healthy joints and muscles before it becomes a problem.
After patients get the relief they want, many choose to continue with some type of periodic care. It is completely up to you whether you continue with care to maintain optimum wellness and get periodic check ups
or choose to not continue treatments beyond pain relief. Chiropractic "checkups" can help support the final stages of healing and help detect and resolve new problems before they become serious. How long you want to receive chiropractic care is up to you.
It is very similar to getting periodic teeth checkups at the dentist to detect small cavities before they get bigger. The importance of keeping up with daily exercises and improved posture prescribed is essential in warding off future problems.
Everyone has different goals for care so we work to decrease pain, increase function and mobility, and improve health the best we can when patients come in.

How do I know if I have stuck or misaligned joints if I do not have pain?

You can have stuck and misaligned joints and not even know it. Misaligned joints are caused by major and minor traumas in the body.
Like tooth decay or cancer, stuck and misaligned joints can be present before any warning signs appear.
The results of a thorough examination can show the location and severity of any stuck and misaligned joints you may have.

Will I Have To Live With the Pain?

We would hope not! Pain is a warning sign. Like the piercing sound from a smoke alarm, the alarm isn't the problem. The alarm has a cause, just
like every ache or pain has a cause. Some people choose to cover up the pain with medications instead of correcting the cause.
Often times, pain is the first indication for someone that there is a problem, but typically that problem had been building and around for a lot longer.
More and more people are choosing chiropractic care first to correct the cause of the problem in the joints and muscles.
Specific chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal function and helps with stuck and misaligned joints which takes pressure off of the nerves .
Better yet, chiropractic care is safe. Chiropractic is natural. And chiropractic looks to correct the underlying cause of the problem

Effects of Chiropractic Treatment on Blood Pressure and Anxiety

2009-03-04T14:59:00.000-08:00

Title: Effects of Chiropractic Treatment on Blood Pressure and Anxiety: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Reference: Yates RG, Lamping NL, Abram C et al. The effects of chiropractic treatment on blood pressure and anxiety: a randomized, controlled trial. J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1988; 11(6): 484-8

Abstract: This study examined the effects of chiropractic adjustments of the thoracic spine (T1-T5) on blood pressure and state anxiety in 21 patients with elevated blood pressure. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions: active treatment, placebo treatment, or no treatment control. The adjustments were performed by a mechanical chiropractic adjusting device (Activator adjusting instrument). Dependent measures obtained pre- and post-treatment included systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and state anxiety. Results indicated that systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly in the active treatment condition, whereas no significant changes occurred in the placebo and control conditions. State anxiety significantly decreased in the active and control conditions. Results provide support for the hypothesis that blood pressure is reduced following chiropractic treatment. Further study is needed to examine the long-term effects of chiropractic treatment on blood pressure. J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1988; 11(6):484-488.

Did you Set your Goals for 2009 yet?

2008-12-23T12:21:00.000-08:00

Did you Set your Goals for 2009 yet?

We thought the topic of Goals would be a perfect Newsletter Topic before the new year.
It is found to be helpful to set and evaluate goals to maintain a better life balance and help with stress.

Goals can be set under any number of the following categories. I hope this helps you organize your goals as well:

Physical/Health Goals (this is where we come in :)
Financial Goals
Spiritual Goals
Career Goals
Family/Relationship Goals

These are a few example categories that you may consider when setting goals every year.

Here are some helpful steps to set goals for 2009.
Presented by YeartoSuccess.com
It is a 365 day program that is free and this is Day 92 which is perfect to review before the New Year

Day 92 : How To Set Goals

There are many goal setting strategies available and, just as expected, some strategies work well for some people, and
other strategies work better for other people. I cannot stress enough the importance of using a goal setting strategy that
works best for you. This usually requires adapting a general strategy and removing the steps you see little value in and/or adding steps of your own.

I will list all of the goal setting steps that are used to make up the strategy I have found works best.
You can either adopt mine as is, or create your own strategy by using some or all of the steps listed below. Have fun with this!

Brainstorm. Before you choose a single goal to set and focus on, use a blank sheet of paper to write down as quickly as
possible all the things you want in the following categories: Artistic, Career, Educational, Ethical, Family, Financial, Mental,
Physical, Pleasure, Social, Spiritual, and any other. There is no need to include detail here. Once you have created this list,
prioritize each of the items on your list. This will allow you to begin immediately focusing on the potential goals that are most important to you.

Goal Setting Steps

Identify your goal. Pick the goal you will be setting and write the goal in positive terms
as if you have already reached the goal. For example, "I weigh a lean, mean 170 pounds".
Make sure your goal is quantifiable, that is, do not simply say "I want to be lean".
Write your goal with as much detail as possible at this time while remaining flexible. For example,
on your way to purchase a red Ferrari, if you find that you like the silver Ferrari much better, then buy that one.

Put your goal through the test by asking questions. Is this really your goal or someone else's goal?
Is this goal bold enough? Do you honestly believe you can achieve this goal? If not, why? List the limiting
beliefs you have and change your beliefs. Does this goal conflict with any of your other goals? How would you
feel 5, 10, 20 and 50 years from now if you never achieved this goal? Would it really matter? Having asked and
answered all of these questions about your goal, do you still want this goal?

Set a "maturity date" for your goal's achievement. It is important to have both long and short-term goals.
Set the exact day that this goal will be achieved.

Identify the obstacles you must overcome in order to achieve your goal. Who or what will be an obstacle for you in
the process of pursuing this goal? How can you overcome these obstacles?

Identify the people, groups and organizations you need to work with in order to achieve your goal. Must you
rely on others to meet this goal? Or perhaps with help from others this goal can more easily be met?

Identify the skills and knowledge needed to help you achieve your goal. What can you learn that will help you achieve this goal?

Ask yourself if you are willing to pay the price in order to enjoy the benefits. A goal is a goal because of the
effort it takes to achieve. Is that effort worth it to you? Are you willing to overcome the obstacles, work with the
people, and acquire the skills needed to see this goal through? Are you 100% committed to this goal?

List benefits of achieving and reasons why you are committed to your goal, and visualize yourself having already achieved the goal.
What pain will you experience in your life if you do not achieve this goal? Here you create enough leverage to convince
yourself that you must absolutely reach your goal. It is this step where you turn the want into desire.

Repeat the steps above for each of your goals. Once you do this, you will have created a clear strategy to the
achievement of your goals. Tomorrow, we will conclude this three-day section on goals with the most important
aspect of goals, which is the achievement of them.

Thank You again for allowing us to play a role in your health.

Health insurance

Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_insurance for more details

From Wikipedia,

The term health insurance is generally used to describe a form of insurance that pays for medical expenses.
It is sometimes used more broadly to include insurance covering disability or long-term nursing or custodial care needs.
It may be provided through a government-sponsored social insurance program, or from private insurance companies.
It may be purchased on a group basis (e.g., by a firm to cover its employees) or purchased by individual consumers.
In each case, the covered groups or individuals pay premiums or taxes to help protect themselves from high or unexpected healthcare expenses.
Similar benefits paying for medical expenses may also be provided through social welfare programs funded by the government.

By estimating the overall risk of healthcare expenses and developing a routine finance structure (such as a monthly premium or annual tax)
that will ensure that money is available to pay for the healthcare benefits specified in the insurance agreement.
The benefit is administered by a central organization, most often either a government agency or a private or not-for-profit entity operating a health plan.^[1]

A health insurance policy is a contract between an insurance company and an individual. The contract can be renewable annually or monthly. The type and amount of health care costs that will be covered by the health plan are specified in advance, in the member contract or Evidence of Coverage booklet. The individual policy-holder's payment obligations may take several forms^[7]:

Premium: The amount the policy-holder pays to the health plan each month to purchase health coverage.
Deductible: The amount that the policy-holder must pay out-of-pocket before the health plan pays its share. For example, a policy-holder might have to pay a $500 deductible per year, before any of their health care is covered by the health plan. It may take several doctor's visits or prescription refills before the policy-holder reaches the deductible and the health plan starts to pay for care.
Copayment: The amount that the policy-holder must pay out of pocket before the health plan pays for a particular visit or service. For example, a policy-holder might pay a $45 copayment for a doctor's visit, or to obtain a prescription. A copayment must be paid each time a particular service is obtained.
Coinsurance: Instead of paying a fixed amount up front (a copayment), the policy-holder must pay a percentage of the total cost. For example, the member might have to pay 20% of the cost of a surgery, while the health plan pays the other 80%. Because there is no upper limit on coinsurance, the policy-holder can end up owing very little, or a significant amount, depending on the actual costs of the services they obtain.
Exclusions: Not all services are covered. The policy-holder is generally expected to pay the full cost of non-covered services out of their own pocket.
Coverage limits: Some health plans only pay for health care up to a certain dollar amount. The policy-holder may be expected to pay any charges in excess of the health plan's maximum payment for a specific service. In addition, some plans have annual or lifetime coverage maximums. In these cases, the health plan will stop payment when they reach the benefit maximum, and the policy-holder must pay all remaining costs.
Out-of-pocket maximums: Similar to coverage limits, except that in this case, the member's payment obligation ends when they reach the out-of-pocket maximum, and the health plan pays all further covered costs. Out-of-pocket maximums can be limited to a specific benefit category (such as prescription drugs) or can apply to all coverage provided during a specific benefit year.
Capitation: An amount paid by an insurer to a health care provider, for which the provider agrees to treat all members of the insurer.
In-Network Provider: A health care provider on a list of providers preselected by the insurer. The insurer will offer discounted coinsurance or copayments, or additional benefits, to a plan member to see an in-network provider. Generally, providers in network are providers who have a contract with the insurer to accept rates further discounted from the "usual and customary" charges the insurer pays to out-of-network providers.

Prescription drug plans are a form of insurance offered through some employer benefit plans in the US, where the patient pays a copayment and the prescription drug insurance part or all of the balance for drugs covered in the formulary of the plan.

Some, if not most, health care providers in the United States will agree to bill the insurance company if patients are willing to sign an agreement that they will be responsible for the amount that the insurance company doesn't pay. The insurance company pays out of network providers according to "reasonable and customary" charges, which may be less than the provider's usual fee. The provider may also have a separate contract with the insurer to accept what amounts to a discounted rate or capitation to the provider's standard charges. It generally costs the patient less to use an in-network provider.

Flexible spending account

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_spending_account

A flexible spending arrangement (FSA), or Flexible Spending Account, as they are commonly called, is one of a number of tax-advantaged financial accounts that can be set up through a cafeteria plan of an employer in the United States. An FSA allows an employee to set aside a portion of his or her earnings to pay for qualified expenses as established in the cafeteria plan, most commonly for medical expenses but often for dependent care or other expenses. Money deducted from an employee's pay into an FSA is not subject to payroll taxes, resulting in a substantial payroll tax savings.

The most common FSA, the medical expense FSA (also medical FSA or health FSA), is similar to a health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement account (HRA). However, while HSAs and HRAs are almost exclusively used as components of a consumer driven health care plan, medical FSAs are commonly offered with more traditional health plans as well. An FSA may be utilized by paper claims or an FSA debit card also known as a Flexcard.

An FSA allows money to be deducted from an employee's paycheck pre-tax and then spent on qualified expenses.

Use it or lose it
Any money that is left unspent at the end of the coverage period is forfeited back to the company; this is commonly known as the "use it or lose it" rule.

Health savings account

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_savings_account

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to taxpayers in the United States who are enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). The funds contributed to the account are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit. Unlike a Flexible spending account (FSA), funds roll over and accumulate year over year if not spent. HSAs are owned by the individual, which differentiates them from the company-owned Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) that is an alternate tax-deductible source of funds paired with HDHPs. Funds may be used to pay for qualified medical expenses at any time without federal tax liability. Withdrawals for non-medical expenses are treated very similarly to those in an IRA account in that they may provide tax advantages if taken after retirement age, and they incur penalties if taken earlier. These accounts are a component of consumer driven health care.

Proponents of HSAs believe that they are an important reform that will help reduce the growth of health care costs and increase the efficiency of the health care system. According to proponents, HSAs encourage saving for future health care expenses, allow the patient to receive needed care without a gate keeper to determine what benefits are allowed and make consumers more responsible for their own health care choices through the required High-Deductible Health Plan.

Opponents of HSAs say they worsen, rather than improve, the U.S. health system's problems because people who are healthy will leave insurance plans while people who have health problems will avoid HSAs. This however is just a rehashing of the criticism of current health insurance coverage where the young and healthy are forced to pay higher premiums to subsidize the old and sick. There is also debate about consumer satisfaction with these plans.

Health Reimbursement Account

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Reimbursement_Account

HRAs are initiated by the employer and serviced by a third-party administrator or plan service provider.^{[citation needed]} The employer may provide in the HRA plan document that credit balances in an employee's HRA account can be rolled over from year to year like a savings account.^{[citation needed]} The employer decides if the funds are rolled from year to year and how much rolls over (which can be either a flat amount or a percentage).
According to the IRS, "employees are reimbursed tax free for qualified medical expenses up to a maximum dollar amount for a coverage period"^[1]. HRAs reimburse only those items (copays, coinsurance, deductibles and services) agreed to by the employer which are not covered by the company's selected standard insurance plan (any health insurance plan, not only high-deductible plans).^{[citation needed]} These arrangements are described in IRS Section 105.^{[citation needed]}
Qualified claims must be described in the HRA plan document at inception, i.e., before reimbursing employees for those medical expenses.^{[citation needed]} Arrangements (medical services, dental services, co-pays, coinsurance, deductibles, participation) may vary from plan to plan, and an employer may have multiple plans in place, allowing much flexibility.
The employer is not required to prepay into a fund for reimbursements, instead, the employer reimburses employee claims as they occur.^{[citation needed]}

DR. WEISZ’s SUCCESS STORIES from Chiropractical Solutions in Chicago

2008-11-09T21:51:00.000-08:00

DR. WEISZ’s SUCCESS STORIES from Chiropractical Solutions in Chicago

Your condition is probably listed below.
We hope someday you have a chance to share your Testimonial too!!

“Dr. Weisz is the most caring doctor I ever had. I never really felt like any of the other doctors I went to cared about me as a person, but he really showed that.

I remember that a few hours after my first visit, Dr. Weisz called me to see how I was feeling. That was when I realized that he cared about me as a person and that I wasn’t just another patient. That experience has always stuck with me, and I always tell people about it every time I talk about Dr. Weisz. I suffered with Neck pain, Mid back pain, Low back pain, pain in both hands, wrist pain, and forearm pain. All the little things he did made me feel really positive about myself, and I believe that positive thinking accelerated my recovery. He is the most genuine, sincere, and honest doctor I’ve ever had. Even if there was another doctor that knew more about my condition, I’d rather see him because he always made sure I left his office with a smile.

Thank you Dr. Weisz.

Jay P. Chicago, IL

I have been using Dr. Weisz as my chiropractor for a few months now and couldn’t be happier with the service I receive. I started going for neck and lower back pain and my life has almost been pain free since. The office is always pleasant, and the atmosphere there is very serene. They are always flexible with there schedule and are warm and friendly. I was very skeptical about seeing a chiropractor but am glad I decided to go with an open mind. You couldn’t find a nicer place to go if you tried.

Debbie R. Chicago, IL

“Dr. Weisz, I know that I have thanked you in person for all that you have helped me with in improving my health, but I felt though I did not express enough of my gratitude and I wanted to take the time to do that. The accident I had with my ribs put a huge strain on my back, which was already in bad shape from my scoliosis and reversed curve in my neck. After spending almost a year going to tons of doctors and excessive physical therapy and not getting any better, I was really beginning to lose hope that I was never going to be able to get my back into a condition where I could maintain it and not be in pain. I am so thankful that right when I was ready to really give up and start taking pain killers, I was able to find you. You immediately gave me hope with your positive attitude and I really felt at ease with how thorough and concerned you were right from the beginning. It was very difficult for me to be going through all of this alone given that I am at school halfway across the country from my family and I wanted you to know how appreciative I am that I know that you sincerely care about how I am doing. The way that you have helped me is exactly why I hope to someday be a chiropractor myself.

Also I wanted to thank you for the unexpected relief that I have been getting with my acid reflux. I have not taken my medicine for a month now and I had really anticipated that I was going to have to be on my medicine for the rest of my life. I am only 21 years old and I was on a really high dosage of medicine to keep me from having to get surgery and it is extremely exciting that I may not have to go down that road. Once again thank you for all that you have done for me, you will always be in my prayers.

Daniella D. New Jersey

“I had annoying back, neck, and shoulder pain. Everything I did seemed to aggravate the pain, like sitting, driving, sleeping, and it made everyday living a chore. Chiropractic care has provided such a relief, especially with driving and sleeping! Waking up in the morning is now actually tolerable.”

Arelis R. Chicago,IL

“My main problem was lower back pain. My muscles were extremely tense and it caused everyday discomfort at work,driving, and during athletic activities. After Chiropractic care I have felt AMAZING! The muscle tenderness decreased quickly, movement became more fluid, and I am now working on building strength through my whole back. YES!…I would recommend another to see Dr. Weisz!!

Lindsey D. Chicago,IL

“My main problem was plantar fasciatus. Every step was painful and I had problems walking. After Chiropractic care I felt Wonderful! Dr. Weisz has a professional approach, is very reassuring, and has an amazing touch. He treats you by first explaining the problem, what approach/treatment he is administering. Frankly, I was cured with the treatment he provided much quicker than I anticipated. Dr. Weisz is a true “cut above”. I would absolutely recommend another person to see Dr. Weisz and felt he is the best of the best.”

David D. Chicago, IL

“My main problem was a slipped disc between the 3rd and 4th vertebrae and pain between my back and down my left leg. I could not sleep or walk hardly at all. After Chiropractic care, the problem seemed like it never happened. Of course! I would recommend another person to see Dr. Weisz.”

What are 5 of the Healthiest Foods for you to eat EVERYDAY?

1. Oranges (or orange juice): A great source of folic acid,fiber, antioxidants beta-carotene and vitamin C, and anticancer compounds flavonoids and carotenoids. Drink fresh orange juice; eat fresh oranges for snacks; make fruit salad with oranges, and toss peeled orange sections into a spinach salad.

2. Dark Leafy Greens: Full of anticancer compounds, vitamins and minerals. Contains folic acid to help prevent neural-tube birth defects, antioxidants beta-carotene and vitamin C, fiber, and anticancer compounds beta-carotene and lutein. Try spinach, collard greens, kale, turnip greens. Eat raw or lightly cooked. Use in salads and stir-fry.

3. Bran Cereal (or other rich source of wheat bran): Prevents constipation, is a potent anticancer agent, prevents polyps, may fight breast cancer by diminishing estrogen supplies. Mix in with your other cereals, make bran muffins, sprinkle on salads, mix into casseroles, even eat out of hand with a mix of raisins and nuts.

4.Yogurt (low fat, with live cultures): Supplies calcium to prevent osteoporosis, boosts immune function, fights bacteria, has anticancer properties, may prevent yeast infections. Make fruit and yogurt smoothies, top vanilla yogurt with fresh fruit and granola, use on baked potatoes instead of sour cream.

5. Green tea:Mounting evidence supports green tea's cancer fighting properties, most likely due to it's anti-oxidant content. Boosts metabolism and aids in weight loss or maintenance. Drink your green tea either with or without caffeine, either hot or iced. Most studies showing the weight loss benefits of green tea were designed with green tea being consumed with meals.

3 Tips:

1. DRINK LOTS OF WATER
(The proper amount is to drink half your body weight in ounces everyday ie. if you weigh 100lbs then drink 100 ounces per day...ie fill up a 20oz bottle 5 times throughout the day!)

2. "GOOD" DAILY MULTIVITAMIN
(If you take the one-a-day vitamins then most of the time you do not absorb everything you need to. The most credible multivitamins need to be taken multiple times a day. You do not
eat one meal a day and expect to get all of your daily nutrients so do not expect that one pill a day would be the best either. If you have questions or need a recommendation of a
good daily multivitamin let me know.)

3. Take OMEGA Supplement in the form of FLAX SEED OIL
(All you need is 1 tablespoon of Flax Seed oil a day and it tastes like almonds. We cannot eat enough fish in a day or week to get our proper amount of omega fatty acids plus there are
toxicity reasons for not eating too much fish. Flax Seed oil helps lower LDL's and Cholesterol, improves function of the liver, immune system, nervous system, and other organ systems.)

*of course the best way to health are these 3 simple steps along with regular Chiropractic adjustments to maintain a healthy nervous system and Massages for a healthy muscular system

October Newsletter

What are the Gender tips of the week?

1. Men: Stop sitting on your wallet. It is not good for the alignment of the Low Back and pelvis. Put your wallet
in your front pocket when you sit.

2. Women: Stop carrying your purse on the same shoulder all the time because if you always carry it on one side this will affect
the alignment of your neck, shoulder, and mid back. I do not want to get started on how bad high heels are for the back.

What did Senator Barack Obama have to say about Chiropractic in his Presidential Campaign?

2008-10-30T22:51:00.000-07:00

What did Senator Barack Obama have to say about Chiropractic in his Presidential Campaign?

The following was a letter by the

American Chiropractic Association
2008 Federal Election
Candidate Questionnaire
Senator Obama Response
National Health Care Reform, Question #1:
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) believes that no national health
care reform plan—no matter how well intended or structured—can realize its
maximum potential to benefit the American people unless it is coupled with, or
designed to achieve, a paradigm shift toward a health care delivery system
focused on wellness and disease prevention—as opposed to the current system,
which is mainly focused on treating patients after they become sick or chronically
ill. Doctors of chiropractic and their holistic approach would be fully integrated
into such a system, and viewed by the public as essential elements for achieving
good health. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view? (Please
elaborate fully.)
Although we spend more than $2 trillion on medical care, an increasing number of
Americans are suffering and dying needlessly from preventable chronic diseases and
cancer. One in 3 Americans—125 million Americans—have a chronic condition, and
minority and low-income populations are especially affected. Covering the uninsured and
modernizing America’s health care system are urgent priorities, but they are not enough.
I believe that we can and must do more to instill a culture of wellness in this nation. As
part of this effort, we also must commit to strengthening our public health system, both to
promote health and to prepare and respond to emerging threats that include bioterrorism
and pandemic flu.
I will work to give all Americans the opportunity to live in communities where risks from
physical and environmental hazards are low, health and quality of life are high priorities,
and public health systems are prepared for emergencies. This effort is contingent upon a
strong primary care workforce. Primary care providers and public health practitioners
have and will continue to lead efforts to protect and promote the nation’s health. Yet, the
numbers of both are dwindling, and the existing workforce is challenged by newer health
threats such as bioterrorism and avian flu, inadequate reimbursement, and limited access
to real-time information and technical support. I will expand funding for programs at
HRSA—including loan repayment, grants for training curricula, and infrastructure
support to improve working conditions— to ensure a strong workforce that can champion
prevention and public health activities. Chiropractors have made important and valuable
contributions with regards to expanding access to preventive services and strengthening
public health, and would be integral to the effectiveness of my efforts in this area.
National Health Care Reform, Question #2:
National health care reform legislation could encompass the establishment of a
federally defined package of core health care benefits that would serve as a base
standard for all health care plans. Do you believe such a standard for minimum
benefits, if established, should include chiropractic care provided by doctors
of chiropractic as a guaranteed benefit?
My health care plan both builds upon and improves our current insurance system, upon
which most Americans continue to rely, and leaves Medicare intact for older and disabled
Americans. My plan also addresses the large gaps in coverage that leave 45 million
Americans uninsured. Specifically, the it will: (1) establish a new public insurance plan,
available to Americans who neither qualify for Medicaid or SCHIP nor have access to
insurance through their employers, as well as to businesses that want to offer insurance to
their employees; (2) create a National Health Insurance Exchange to help Americans and
businesses that want to purchase private health insurance directly; (3) require all
employers to contribute towards health coverage for their employees or towards the cost
of the new public plan; (4) mandate all children have health care coverage; (5) expand
Medicaid and SCHIP to cover more of the least well-off among us; and (6) allow state
flexibility for state health reform plans.
My public insurance plan will include comprehensive coverage, including all essential
medical benefits such as mental health care, maternity care and preventive services. Any
benefit that is evidence-based or meets the current accepted standard of care would be
covered, and as such, many if not all chiropractic services provided by doctors of
chiropractic medicine should be included in the public benefit package.

Medicare, Question #1:
Current Medicare law discriminates against doctors of chiropractic (DCs), and the
beneficiaries who wish to receive their treatment, because DCs are permitted to
provide only a single covered benefit (manual manipulation of the spine)—even
though doctors of chiropractic are trained and licensed in all 50 states to provide a
range of other Medicare-covered services (physical exams, X-rays, other
diagnostic services, etc.). Current law allows a variety of other providers to be
reimbursed for these services but arbitrarily and unfairly limits the services a
doctor of chiropractic may provide. Would you support the enactment of
Medicare legislation allowing doctors of chiropractic to provide, and be
reimbursed for, any existing covered Medicare benefit (provided that the
services are within a doctor of chiropractic’s licensed scope-of-practice)?
I am committed to prioritizing focus on health care quality improvement to ensure that
patients receive and providers deliver the best possible care. To assist patients, my plan
supports disease management programs, coordination of care initiatives and full
transparency about provider quality and costs. Efforts to improve health care delivery by
providers will include comparative effectiveness research, tackling of health care
disparities, patient safety activities and aligning incentives for excellence. With regards
to this latter effort, I recognize that both public and private insurers tend to pay providers
based on the volume of services provided, rather than the quality or effectiveness of care.
I support reimbursement reform that will reward all providers for meeting certain
performance thresholds on outcome measures. As such, I will not discriminate against
any class of providers, but instead reward and reimburse those who deliver high quality
care and whose patients achieve good health outcomes.

Medicare, Question #2:
The traditional Medicare program, Part B, is a fee-for-service-based program that
allows beneficiaries direct access to the eligible Medicare providers of their
choice. However, beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare managed care plans, Type C
(also known as “Medicare Advantage Plans”), are limited to treatment from the
managed care plan’s providers and may only receive the services offered by their
particular plan. Congress intended Medicare managed care plans to offer services
no less comprehensive than those provided under Medicare Part B. However, in
practice, Medicare managed care plans routinely fail to provide beneficiaries with
access to doctors of chiropractic. Would you support the enactment of
Medicare legislation that would correct this deficiency and require Medicare
managed care plans to offer beneficiaries access—without unreasonable
restriction—to the services of doctors of chiropractic?
Although the Medicare managed care option has provided many seniors with greater
options, it has not achieved expected cost savings nor do many plans offer any additional,
meaningful benefits to enrollees. More recent investigation has highlighted a number of
problems with Medicare Advantage Plans including abusive marketing practices, variable
and sometimes harmful benefit design and excessive overpayment. As such, there is a
compelling need to conduct rigorous review and oversight of plan availability,
administration, benefit design, and financing. The study of comprehensiveness of benefit
design would help to clarify what additional standards and protections are needed for
seniors, such as guaranteed access to chiropractic care, which could be required as a
condition of participation for the insurers in the Medicare Advantage program.
Preservation of State Consumer-Protection Laws:
All 50 U.S. states have enacted laws intended to protect consumers accessing
health care services via insurance plans regulated at the state level. The portion of
the health care insurance marketplace regulated at the state level is sometimes
referred to as the health insurance “small market,” and the state-enacted consumer
protections that apply to this portion of the marketplace are often referred to as
“state mandates.” In the past, some in Congress have proposed the enactment of a
federal law(s) that would pre-empt, or otherwise abolish, the effectiveness of
these state-enacted consumer protections. ACA believes these protections serve a
valuable and useful purpose, and will continue to oppose their pre-emption until a
comprehensive set of federal protections is enacted to take their place. To what
extent do you agree or disagree with the ACA’s position on this matter?
(Please elaborate fully.)
I firmly believe that states should have maximal flexibility to implement state mandates
that meet the needs and preferences of its residents. I have opposed legislation, such as
Association Health Plan legislation, that would allow entities to circumvent state-enacted
consumer protections.
ERISA Reform and a Patients Bill of Rights:
Millions of Americans receiving their health insurance via plans organized as
federally regulated ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) plans are
deprived of consumer protections that exist at the state level and that are
applicable to state-regulated insurance plans. This is because plans organized
under the federal ERISA statute are provided with a pre-emption that allows them
to ignore state consumer-protection laws. This pre-emption continues even though
no consumer protections (comparable to typical state protections) have been
enacted at the federal level and made applicable to ERISA-organized plans. To
address this deficiency, and to help ensure that patients are not deprived of the
care they need, Congress may once again consider the enactment of a federal
“Patients Bill of Rights” that would apply to ERISA plans. ACA favors the
enactment of a comprehensive set of federal patient and provider protections.
Would you support the enactment of a comprehensive federal Patients Bill of
Rights, including (point-of-service) provisions that allow patients’ access to
the providers of their choice?
I firmly support the rights of states to determine and implement state-mandated benefits
and other protections that meet the needs and preferences of its residents. Accordingly, I
would support enactment of a federal Patients Bill of Rights to protect individual access
to providers and services in ERISA plans.
Antitrust Reform and Restraining Insurance-Company Power:
Current law allows a special exemption for the insurance and managed care
industries from certain provisions of federal antitrust law. This special treatment
gives the insurance industry a competitive advantage over other key participants
in the health care delivery system, including health care providers. ACA believes
such an advantage is anti-competitive in nature and harmful to the well-being of
providers and the patients they serve. It creates an uneven playing field in the
health care marketplace. This exemption allows a disproportionate level of market
power to accumulate in the hands of wealthy and highly profitable insurance
interests—to the detriment of providers and others. ACA supports enactment of
antitrust reform legislation that would restore balance to the marketplace by
allowing providers to collectively bargain with health insurance plans. Would
you support the enactment of such collective-bargaining legislation?
Yes.
Commissioning Doctors of Chiropractic in the Uniformed
Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service:
One remaining vestige of discrimination against the chiropractic profession at the
federal level is the ineligibility of doctors of chiropractic (DCs) to be
commissioned as officers in the Uniformed Corps of the U.S. Public Health
Service. No legitimate basis for this exclusion exists. In fact, doctors of
chiropractic are virtually the only provider group still excluded. The Corps is
comprised of a very broad range of providers; even doctors of veterinary medicine
may participate. Would you support legislation that would require the
commissioning of DCs as officers in the Uniformed Corps of the U.S. Public
Health Service?
The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is comprised of approximately
6,000 public health professionals dedicated to delivering the nation’s public health
promotion and disease prevention programs and advancing public health science. Given
the critical role that doctors of chiropractic serve in each of these functions, I would
support commissioning of doctors of chiropractic as officers in the Uniformed Corps.

Integration of Chiropractic Care into the VA and DoD Health
Care Systems:
In recent years, the enactment by Congress of a series of laws has begun the
process of integrating chiropractic care into the health care systems of the
Departments of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA). However, full
integration is yet to be achieved. The services of doctors of chiropractic (DCs) are
available at less than half of the major DoD and VA treatment facilities, and no
DCs are in theater treating our troops overseas. Additionally, in the DoD system,
chiropractic care is only available to active-duty military personnel, and it is not
available—as are other benefits—to survivors, retirees and dependents. In the VA
system, meanwhile, veterans living in rural areas rarely receive permission from
the VA to obtain chiropractic care from DCs available in their local areas. Would
you support the enactment of legislation that would lead to the full
integration of chiropractic care into both the DoD and VA health care
systems?

I recognize that neither the VA nor DOD has achieved full integration of the services of
doctors of chiropractic into their health systems despite clear direction from the
Congress. I will support careful examination into the policy and practical barriers that
restrict access to such services in order to inform the development of legislation that can
remedy this problem.
